nous rush to the city of thousands oil

Wicked Willie.

New YORK. Feb. 26.-William E.
English, son Of Hon. William English, of
Indiana, the Democratic candidate for
vice president in 1880, was arrested on
board the steamer Etruria Just before it
was time for her to sail for Europe to day.
The order of arrest was sued out Of the
supreme court by Mrs. Lucy A. Case,
formerly OF indianapolis, the home of the
young man. Later in the day, and too
late to catch the steamer, Mr.. English
was released on bail.
Mrs. Case has been a widow six years
and has a child 7 years old. She is of
prepossessing appearance and attractive
For several years she was a
saleswoman in the store of l.. A. Morri-
son, of indianapolis. While there she
was introduced to young English in jan
uary, 1886. She was then boarding at a
small family hotel in that city. She
alleges that he visited the store daily, pay
ing her attention, escorting her home
from work and to places of amusement,
ETC.. That he professed great love for
ner, and called on her at her home; that
his attentions became a matter of public
notoriety, and it was generally believed
that they were engaged.
She charges that in July. 1886, on one
of his visits, after entering her room, he
locked the door, that she begged him to
open the door, but he refused. She
charges that he then criminally assaulted
her. She alleges that through tear of
disgrace and exposure she did not make
public the %offense. but refused to again
see him. Subsequently,. she says, she told
him of her condition and alleges that he
took her to a physician and had an abor-
ton performed. She claims that English
promised to make amends by marrying
her and that he threatened to kill her il
she married anyone else. She was obliged
to leave her position and asserts that he
has since supported her. A few days
ago, she says, he sent her 800 to pay
certain expenses. On Dec. 10 she re,
moved to this city. He has now refused
to marry her and she sues for damages t.
the amount of sos, 900. She applied fol
the arrest to compel English to furnish
bonds to appear.

An Extra Session Probable

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Despite the
wish of the president and Of members in
both houses of congress to avoid the ne
cessity for calling a session of the two
houses for special business, the opinion is
entertained to-day that matters in respect
to appropriation bills are rapidly drifting
into a position, if indeed they have not
already reached it, which makes a called
session inevitable. Allison says in all his
service in both houses he has never known
such a state of backwardness in regard to
appropriation bills, and for this condition
of things he declares that neither the sem
ate nor its committee on appropriations is
in any way responsible. A member of
the senate appropriation committee de-
clares his belief that it will be impossible.
during the remaining days of the session,
to finish the appropriation bills.
The matter of appointments and confr-
nations contributes to the influence
which may produce a called session.
Opinions respecting the presidents power
to appoint Interstate IN commits
sioners during the recess of the senate are
widely variant. Edmunds, Pugh, Harris
and other senators OF prominence declare
without qualification that the president
has no shadow OF constitutional or legal
right to fill an Office recently created when
